Building belonging starts with visible support.

In a time when visibility for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks can still feel vulnerable, visible support makes a big difference.

Any suggestions would be appreciated 😊

I posted a request for recommendations yesterday for a q***r-friendly caterer in southern Manitoba (Pembina Valley region), and unfortunately, most commenters who responded didn't seem to understand the mission. Folks responded with general recommendations for caterers. When I asked if these were KNOWN q***r-friendly businesses, most often there was no response at all, or in a few cases I was told, NO, actually they were not q***r-friendly. THAT was the primary purpose, people!

I didn't want to say this, because it's depressing, but the reason for asking is that the q***r couple looking for a caterer for their wedding have had some awkward turn-downs already. That really sucks. I don't want them to go through that again. You don't want them to go through that again.

So, let's try this once more! Please help me find a q***r-friendly caterer in southern Manitoba. If you know someone who makes great food, but you don't know if they are 2SLGBTQ+ friendly, please consider being an amazing ally and picking up the phone, and having that conversation so that you'll really know if you can recommend them with confidence. If this seems hard for you to do, imagine how hard it is for members of our community.

As a small, grassroots organization, Pembina Valley Pride relies on the generosity of our local community to fund vital programming, including our annual Pride celebration.

Sponsoring Pride 2026 is more than a marketing opportunity. It’s a way to show that you support inclusion, belonging, and the positive social change Pride represents.

At a time when many 2SLGBTQIA+ folks are still questioning whether it’s safe to show up as themselves, visible local support matters more than ever.

Wow, what a week!

We knew our announcement was going to make some waves, but we never imagined the outpouring of support and love we have received this past week.

We’ve had many, MANY individuals, groups, and organizations who have reached out with offers to volunteer in different capacities and shared messages of love and support with us. We can’t thank you all enough for the words of encouragement and care. We also really appreciate those of you who have shared screenshots with us.

The response to our announcement really gets back to the reason we do what we do. Pembina Valley Pride started with the mission to support the q***r communities within the whole Pembina Valley. Being able to host Pride in Winkler is fulfilling the dreams of so many people and it’s an honour and a privilege to help make that happen.

We hope to see the momentum of the past week continue into June and beyond. If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out the form on our website. Don’t stress if you don’t hear from us right away! We’ll be reaching out to volunteers closer to June.

If you’d like to offer financial support, our 2026 Sponsorship Package will be available soon. Keep an eye on our social media and our website for that!

For the most up-to-date and accurate information, your best bet is our official website and social media channels. That’s where we’ll be sharing confirmed details as plans are finalized.

Thank you thank you thank you. We know your love and support will carry through to June and can’t wait to make this the biggest celebration we’ve had yet!

Rainbow Resource Centre is thrilled by the announcement of Pembina Valley Pride to host Pride celebrations in Winkler this June which reflects a clear interest and appetite for 2SLGBTQ+ visibility and celebration in the local area. Bringing Pride to more rural communities is the kind of initiative that fosters a society where people of diverse sexual and gender identities not only survive but thrive.

The Pride movement began as a protest, and it continues to be a powerful act of visibility. With more than 270,000 Manitobans considering themselves part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, including those who identify and their immediate families, events like these create spaces where people can exist openly. And they send a clear message: There is space for everyone. No fear. No shame. But instead, love and joy!

Pride helps individuals feel seen, valued, and less alone. This is especially true in rural communities, where residents may experience less real-life exposure to people who are like them. As the oldest 2SLGBTQ+ organization in the province, Rainbow stands with Pembina Valley Pride on their announcement, recognizing that through kindness, empathy, and a willingness to learn, Manitoba communities can continue working toward a future where everyone belongs.
